Initiatives

Our National Advisory Committee (NAC) represents the seven research nodes across Canada. Building from our roots in Ontario north, south and east, the other nodes are centred in the Northwest Territories, Alberta and British Columbia, Quebec and Atlantic Canada.

Our International Advisory Committee (IAC) complements the work of the National Advisory Committee. The IAC includes experts from the United States, Mexico, Cuba, Germany, France, Wales, the Netherlands, Italy and South Africa. Three Working Groups explore and develop research related to agro-ecology, territorial food systems and related metrics, and innovative governance.
